A Charles Paris Mystery in "A Decent Interval" (ep4 of 4) from BBC Radio Classic
WolvMarineDarlings, the curtain falls tonight on Simon Brett’s exquisitely crafted A Decent Interval, and what a triumphant final bow it is.Over the past three episodes, we’ve watched Bill Nighy’s gloriously dishevelled Charles Paris—actor, occasional sleuth, perpetual understudy—navigate the treacherous wings of a West End Hamlet plagued by increasingly sinister “accidents.” Episode 1 introduced us to the glittering but brittle company; Episode 2 tightened the screws with mounting suspicion and delicious backstage intrigue; Episode 3 pushed tensions to breaking point as Charles’s reluctant investigation deepened. And now, in this flawless 28-minute finale, every thread is gathered with Brett’s trademark elegance: revelations arrive precisely on cue, motives are laid bare with surgical wit, and justice—Rumpolian in its eccentricity—is served with a flourish that leaves one gasping and grinning in equal measure.Nighy, as ever, is peerless—his voice a smoky blend of resignation and mischief—while the supporting cast deliver performances so vivid one could swear the footlights are actually glowing. This is radio theatre at its most sophisticated: sharp as a stiletto, funny as a farce, and satisfying as a perfectly timed exit line.One must also applaud the thoughtful presentation on the WolvMarine (and WolveMarine) channels across YouTube and Rumble. The gentle, beautifully judged animated visuals—shadowy stages, drifting mist, subtle Hamlet motifs—enhance rather than intrude, turning a superb audio drama into a near-visual feast while preserving the intimacy of radio. A splendid public service for lovers of British theatre on both sides of the Atlantic.Do treat yourself to the complete serial if you’ve missed it. Brett and Nighy at the height of their powers—simply unmissable. #CharlesParis #ADecentInterval #Episode4 #Finale #BillNighy #BBCRadio4 #SimonBrett #TheatreMysteryOriginal BBC Radio 4 broadcast – enhanced with custom visuals for your delight.Support the Channel (Optional – Always Appreciated!)

Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in "Lord Edgware Dies" (ep5) from BBC Radio Classic
WolvMarineAGATHA CHRISTIE'S HERCULE POIROT – “Lord Edgware Dies” (ep5) | Full BBC Radio 4 Extra AdaptationThe inimitable David Suchet returns as the fastidious Belgian detective in this masterful BBC Radio 4 Extra production of Agatha Christie’s classic Lord Edgware Dies (also known as Thirteen at Dinner).When the notorious American actress Jane Wilkinson begs Hercule Poirot to convince her estranged husband, the cold and cruel Lord Edgware, to grant her a divorce, the little grey cells are already suspicious. But when Lord Edgware is found murdered the very next morning—with Jane apparently seen at the scene—the case appears open-and-shut. Yet Poirot, ever the skeptic, senses something far more intricate: a web of deception, impersonation, and diabolical cunning that only the greatest detective in the world can unravel.This full-cast radio drama captures every ounce of Christie’s wit, tension, and misdirection, with Suchet delivering the definitive Poirot—precise, courteous, and utterly brilliant—alongside a stellar ensemble including Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings and a host of British theatre veterans.Perfect for a cozy evening, a long drive, or anyone who loves golden-age mystery at its finest. The production is rich with period atmosphere, clever twists, and that unmistakable Christie satisfaction when the final piece falls into place. #AgathaChristie #HerculePoirot #LordEdgwareDies #DavidSuchet #BBCRadio4 #Poirot #ClassicMystery #GoldenAgeDetective Original BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast – presented here with love for Christie fans everywhere.Support the Channel (Optional – Always Appreciated!)
